“I had a super amazing PEMF and massage combination at the Lanktuary with Harriet. I walked out feeling so relaxed with a renewed sense of balance and peace. If you haven’t had a session with Harriet, I would highly recommend booking one! The session started with the most incredible massage- like one of the best I’ve had. Her expertise is like none other.  The PEMF treatment is so calming and the perfect complement to the massage. I can’t wait to go back again to experience Harriet’s amazing skills and healing powers.”

“Our time at the Lanktuary was relaxing and exactly what we wanted it to be. It was a perfect combination of beach, poolside reading, sleeping in, good food and an excursion to a nearby National Park. Because the Lanktuary was our home-base, we felt comfortable being flexible and doing exactly what we wanted to do each day. ”

“As always at heart & flow yoga I felt safe and guarded, everything with intention. Started with a little stretching and coaching with the lovely Harriet. A yoga mat surrounded by crystals, everything smelling so nice and immediately I closed my eyes and surrendered. With the words “Enjoy the pleasure of the journey” written on her walls right next to me.  Her soft voice and care guided me through the session. After that we passed to the healing room smelling again. It was so nice, very relaxed. I went to the PEMF mat where she started her massage and soaking in my body. Felt like a nice combo. Once we made it to the front part of my body, she put on the eye mask which was really sensational. Lost completely track of time, the music was divine, everything felt with positive intention, and I absolutely loved it. At the end we ended with a sincere talk and more realizing of the mind, soul & body. Looking forward to many more sessions and exploring more of the PEMF world.”

“The most relaxing vacation I've ever had. ”

Scott W., Durham, NC

“ I was not aware or prepared for the incredible experience I would have with Harriet. She is a blessing to all who are lucky enough to have her in their lives.  We met through a few mutual friends, and she casually invited me to a yoga session at her Lanktuary. It was one of the most amazing yoga practices I had experienced, and I instantly felt a connection to her. Harriet invited me to have a session with her and not knowing what that meant but being curious I said yes. Our session started casually with Harriet asking me “So how are you?”  I immediately fell apart …. I felt a massive release of pent-up emotions I had been holding on to for a few years. She had me pinpointed in 20 minutes calmly saying, ‘You haven’t started to grieve the death of your mother, have you?’

I was 100% unaware that I had not begun the grieving process of my mother and was made aware of this very important detail that was clouding me and my life’s path forward during our very first session.  I asked Harriet if she would be willing to help me walk through this process, and she said yes. It was a huge relief and something I don’t think I could do alone. The work we do together has made me much more self-aware and has reminded me of the importance of staying present, being mindful and going with the flow. Saying yes to everything that feels right. Harriet continues to be an inspiration to me. I have started to look at the world through a different lens and to have the confidence and reassurance that life is always changing and evolving and that is a beautiful thing. We all feel lost or get clouded but having Harriet by my side to help guide me has given me a sense of calm knowing this too shall pass and that everything will work out as it should. Harriet is a true healer and I feel so blessed and grateful she came into my life.”

“Time stands still at the Lanktuary and colors fill the sky at sunset. Can’t beat 85 degrees and sunny listening to the sounds of the jungle. And poolside beers have never been colder”

Alex L., Chicago, IL
“The Lanktuary is one of the most peaceful places.  The attention to detail is so noticed and appreciated and you can relax there like no other place. Truly a special healing place; I feel rejuvenated. Thank you Harriet, Adam, and of course the dogs that will light you up with joy every day. ”

Susanna L., Melbourne, Australia
“I recently went to see Harriet about an old back injury that flares up once or twice a year. I heard through the grapevine about her massaging capabilities, and that she had worked on over stressed athletes in the past. I was very reluctant at 1st because other massage encounters have left me more sore, or worse off than when we began. This was not the case with Harriett’s hour and 1/2 sessions. It was a great combination of muscle massage, stretching, and realignment of my hips! All critical in relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve. I left feeling relaxed, and relieved that I had not only had a great massage, but a great experience. I would definitely go back and use her expertise with any upcoming injuries in sure to have from grueling gym days. Thanks again Harriet!”

- Nathan
“When you arrive at the Lanktuary you feel immediately welcomed and relaxed, the same kind of relaxed feeling you get when drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows after spending all day skiing; you feel it in your soul. The units are all beautiful, spacious and equipped with everything you need, and you will love the surrounded jungle views and wildlife. Adam and Harriet are the sweetest hosts and will do anything they can to make sure you are happy and content. We loved staying here for a weekend get-a-way and can’t wait to do it again. Amazing space, breathtaking setting and incredible people! Thank you for having us”

Stephanie F., Halifax, Canada
“I brought my photo crew with me to the Lanktuary to serve as a home base as well as a scenic location to take photos. It turned out to be so much more than a scenic home base. A group breakfast every morning with Harriet and the family (dogs included), yoga sessions, massages, evening wind-down drinks by the pool with the sounds of the jungle. Pura Vida.”

Justin G., Salt Lake City, Utah

“ I have been an athlete all my life, and I have had injuries - both acute and chronic - for most of that time. I’ve tried many other therapies, and they are often short-term fixes, but haven’t provided any resolutions to the underlying problem.

With a background in kinesiology, and a passion for fitness and the human body, I was very curious about the treatments Harriet provides. What started out as a session of intrigue has turned into a mandatory part of my weekly training. The simplest way to describe what happens when you use the PEMF mat is that your whole body just feels and functions better. When using it in combination with Harriet’s skill as an LMT and her experience with trigger / pressure point release, I have not only experienced relief from my acute injuries, but she is helping to retrain my body to exist as it was meant to be. For the first time in my life, I am healing injuries and permanently fixing the problems. My body is beginning to perform the way it’s meant to.

Harriet’s understanding of the body is mind blowing. Her ability to identify the problem and work to heal and restore you is nothing short of a miracle. Her knowledge, experience, and understanding of the body from a holistic perspective is exactly what you need if you are an athlete, recovering from injury, or just wanting more out of life.

I cannot recommend her enough.”

“ I have known Harriet for 30 years, so I have been coming to visit her in Costa Rica since she moved there in 2013, before the Lanktuary existed. That means I have witnessed the evolution and growth of the Lanktuary, Harriet and the Lanka family. I have visited solo, I’ve come with friends, I’ve stayed for just a week, a month and for over 3 months. And that means I’ve seen everything that the Lanktuary has to offer. It is a true sanctuary, and an epicenter for the soul.

Nestled in nature overlooking the ocean, you can deeply dive into personal healing or a digital lifestyle, or both in balance. There are parts of the World that must remain sacred and this place is one of them. It takes a sacred space to facilitate accessing one's energetic body, and to feel safe and welcomed enough to bring love into parts of the self one cannot do in modern culture anymore.

The Lantuary is a unique retreat center, healing space, yoga studio and Airbnb all in one; so there’s something for everyone.  I remember sitting with Harriet 15 years ago on the floor of her first apartment in Potrero, writing our dreams on a whiteboard. We discussed the desire to create a place and space where other healers, leaders and creatives could come for a DIY healing retreat. Today, at its second location, the Lanktuary has become that mecca we discussed, for self growth and self directed learning. Whether you’re finishing that book, starting that new career, taking some time to heal or reinforcing your creative right to do nothing; the Lanktuary holds space for you to see what beautiful flowers of life can grow for you.

After over a decade of building community in Costa Rica, I’ve witnessed Adam, Harriet and their family provide immense grounding and healing energy for me and others. Because they live there full time and have such a deep connection to themselves and the community, they are responsible for channeling the healing opportunities that our culture is so in desperate need of. 

If you are lucky enough to attend a Lanktuary experience for whatever length of time, bring a readiness to evolve into your next phase of self. Be ready to swim in the ocean, surrender your body to the healing opportunities available for you in the studio, walk through the forest and enjoy the Tico experience at every level. You’re in for a treat of Pure Life. Good luck, pura vida and enjoy your journey”

“ The Lanktuary is absolutely breathtaking and gave us the revitalization we were seeking in a quick getaway! We were greeted by our incredibly lovely hosts, Adam and Harriet, who were all smiles and gave us an immediate sense of calm.

The Lanktuary is an abundant oasis with lush jungle and complete with the soothing sounds of a seasonal creek. We stayed in the serenity room which was exceptionally spacious with a tall ceiling and was well equipped including a full kitchen. We had incredibly peaceful rest and rose recharged every morning. Daily yoga in a spacious studio complete with jungle views and massages topped off our experience and guaranteed our return visit. Thank you, Adam and Harriet, can’t wait to see you again soon! ”

“Lanktuary was fabulous, Harriet & Adam were very kind to us. They always helped us with everything and the location of the place was very good because it is close to all the beautiful beaches. I highly recommend it. ”

Sofia, Cartago, Costa Rica
“Amazing place to spend a few days and disconnect, very peaceful, quiet and safe place. The cleanliness of the room is impeccable and with great attention from our hosts. Also the distance from the beach is awesome! Definitely would stay here again! ”

Gabriel, Heredia, Costa Rica
“I was in a severe car accident and suffered with pain and inflammation in my neck, back, spine and wrist. Harriet recommended I start PEMF Therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) right away and I decided to give it a try. Before my first session I did some research and discovered that it is a process in which low level electromagnetic energy is sent directly through your body stimulating cellular repair. After my first session, I instantly received some pain relief and stopped taking the prescribed pain killers. I am now in my 3rd week of going to see Harriet for therapy and this has proved to be quite beneficial for my recovery – it has helped with decreased muscle pain in my neck and back. My range of motion has improved substantially! Harriet is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and you can tell she truly cares for her clients! She is super passionate about helping you get the most out of your treatment and the environment is incredibly relaxing. I would recommend PEMF for anyone experiencing joint pain or really painful symptoms of any kind. Thank you, Harriet, for helping my body heal, physically and emotionally.”

“We had a truly magical stay at this spiritual apartment in Guanacaste! The breathtaking ocean views and serene atmosphere made it the perfect retreat. The space was beautifully designed and had a calming energy that made our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to come back and experience this slice of paradise again! ”

Javier, Guatemala City
“The place was amazing, very quiet and peaceful. I felt safe and had the place to ourselves for a couple of days. Just the perfect combination of comfort and privacy. We will be back”

Ana, Oakeville, Canada
“The PEMF mat with light therapy is next level... it seemed to have regulated my nervous system and taken away chronic pain... it really is a miracle healing modality. I totally recommend it!”

- Chantal
“It has an amazing ocean view. Waking up in this place is quite an experience. I highly recommend it for couples trips. Fully equipped and with an ideal terrace to wait for the afternoon or see the stars. The place is super quiet and perfect for a good rest. Thank you very much to Adam and Harriet.”

Rafael, Grecia, Costa Rica
“Really enjoyed my stay with Harriet and Adam (and family) at their beautiful place in the mountains. The room was spacious with incredible views on all sides and the pool was dreamy. The AC kept me comfortable and they even provided drinking water which helped me stay hydrated in the warm climate. Kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook meals in. The location is convenient to the beach and markets, restaurants but also feels secure and tucked away in nature! Everything I was looking for and a great value to boot! Will definitely return for another stay!”

Allison, Portland, OR
“We had a wonderful week at Adam and Harriet’s! The location is awesome with a short drive to beautiful beaches and great restaurants. Their pool is amazing. It’s also a kid friendly place with a trampoline, toys and pack n play. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming. They put me in contact with a friend who does Reiki and cacao ceremonies which was a perfect addition to the week. Thank you!  ”
